Antonio Preziosi
THE SMILING POPE
The Life of Albino Luciani and the Thirty-Three Days of John Paul I

Preziosi tells us about the origins and strength of that smile with an agile journalistic approach. Un updated biography, attentive to all aspects of the figure of the Pontiff who reigned only for a month: theologian, pastor, conciliar father, a man of intense and in some respects innovative spirituality.
